MlRROR-FRAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. *770,106, dated September 13, 1904.

Application filed J une 24, 1904.

To all uhmn it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS B. PRAHAR, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Mirror-Frame, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The purpose of the invention is to provide an exceedingly simple, durable, and economic construction of mirror-france wherein the mirror can be securely held between two sections, one section entering the other, and the fiange of the outer or back section be rolled, pressed, or clamped upon the corresponding flange on the inner or front section in such manner as to make a smooth, overlapping, and secure connection without the use of solder.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar-characters of reference indicate corresponding parts inall the figures.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the back section of the frame. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the front section of the frame. Fig'. 3 is an enlarged section through the body of the frame and a mirror carried thereby, showing the parts in their initially-assembled state; and Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3, but the two sections of the frame areshown clamped one to the other or in a finished condition.

A represents the back section of the frame, and B the front section. As illustrated, the back section consists of a solid body member 10 of circular formation and a handle member 11, while the front section B consists of a skeleton body member 12, having a handle 13 attached or made integral therewith. In fact, the handle members of the two sections A and B may be either attached to the body members or constitute an integral portion of the same.

The back section A is provided with a forwardly-extending marginal flange 14:, and the body member of the front section B is provided With a rearwardly-extending outermarginal flange 15. When theparts are assembled, the mirror C, provided with a hacking Serial No. 213.963. (No model.)

U, if desired, is placed in the body member of the front section B from the back, and then the body member of the front section B is made to enter the space between the fiange of the body member lO of the back section A, and the handle 13 of the front section B is made to enter the space between the flange at the margin of the handle member 11 of the front section A. The body members of the two sections will then be in the position shown in Fig. 3, and the two sections are then clamped together or thoroughly connected by simply pressing the forward edge portion of the flange of the back section A upon the marginal portion of the front section B, as is shown at 16 in Fig. 4:, and in this manner a perfect connection is obtained between the two sections A and B in a convenient and eXpeditious manner without the employment of solder or other member 10 may be of skeleton form so as to member, the two sections in their entirety' being provided with a marginal fiange, the flangesof the sections facing in opposite directions when placed together, the marginal fiange of one section being in clamping engagement with the fiange of the opposing section substantially throughout their entire surfaces.

In testimony whereofI have signed my name to this specification in the presence of tWo subscribing witnesses.
